Publications using DNA Specimens

DNA specimens were collected in the NHANES III Phase II (1991-1994) and in subsequent NHANES cycles (1999-2002, 2007-2008, 2009-2010, and 2011-2012). Research has been conducted on samples from 1991-1994, 1999-2002, and 2007-2008. Results of research studies conducted with the DNA specimens appear on this webpage.
